i simply love speeding mk5s.

NO WAY! SBS O405s are noisy, old, and uncomfortable, second worse ones after the OAC Scanias...I'd take a quiet & comfortable MK4 anyday...Originally posted by freakybuses:I will prefer 39 getting some O405s.... -
Some O405s are really silent... eg regos 123, 129 on svc 269... all silent.Originally posted by leeJZ:NO WAY! SBS O405s are noisy, old, and uncomfortable, second worse ones after the OAC Scanias...I'd take a quiet & comfortable MK4 anyday... -
AMDEP has good mainteinance for the merzs... SLBP aint as good as them.Originally posted by freakybuses:Some O405s are really silent... eg regos 123, 129 on svc 269... all silent. -
Rest assured it won't. Or you will see DDs kissing the curved aluminium cover at the parking lot, perhaps even when entering Yishun interchange.Originally posted by service_238:i hope 39 doesnt get DDs... if they do, more mk5s will be gone and there goes the highway express i simply love speeding mk5s. -

SBST O405s noisy and uncomfortable? You must be joking! They have the second highest power output of the single decks!Originally posted by leeJZ:NO WAY! SBS O405s are noisy, old, and uncomfortable, second worse ones after the OAC Scanias...I'd take a quiet & comfortable MK4 anyday... -

I hate SBST 0405s. Whenever i board one, i get all gloomy. The interior is the worst of all SBST buses......i only brighten up when i boarf MK2, MK5, VSO, Denis Trident........the a/c of the 0405 oso not cold onezz......Originally posted by SBS9818A:SBST O405s noisy and uncomfortable?

I fall asleep upon boarding a CAC 0405 in SBSL(ex-PA)livery on sv 502,The a/c was so damm cold.Originally posted by SBS9845X:I hate SBST 0405s. Whenever i board one, i get all gloomy.

I didnt say they were not powerful....even the Scania CACs are better than the O405s, at least the Scanias are quiet and equally powerful...the two good points about the Scanias. Plus the interior of the SBS O405 looks really old and grey.Originally posted by SBS9818A:SBST O405s noisy and uncomfortable? You must be joking!

O405s are noisy...when an O405 pulls out of the bus bay, you can really hear the engine... -
Most CAC Mercedes have cooling or cold airconditiong. I, however, do agree that the OAC Mercedes doesn't have really good aircon units to start with.Originally posted by SBS9845X:I hate SBST 0405s.

O405s are good. They have powerful engines and strong a/c units. I fall asleep easily in O405s for some funny reason.Originally posted by leeJZ:I didnt say they were not powerful....even the Scania CACs are better than the O405s, at least the Scanias are quiet and equally powerful...the two good points about the Scanias.

Probably old kampung names?Originally posted by tranquilice:Sam Kee, Teck Lee and Soo Teck sound like persons' names. -
because the precinct in the south of the station is called Punggol Cove, similarly, Meridian is named for the same reason... the weird thing is Oasis. the precint is directly in the north of PE2 so it is quite a distance fr PE6.Originally posted by freakybuses:PE1 Cove??? So wierd... btw, how come no edgefield, sentul etc?
Punggol is not the same as Sengkang whereby each neighbourhood has a name, like Rivervale, etc. Edgefield is only a road name that stretches fr east to west (or is it northsouth?) so it is difficult to find a station to name after it?
Where was Sentul located in the past? is any of the stations located at it's position? -
